Not too bad for the first drawing of the day. I've seen this guy in the cafe a few times, but haven't had the chance to draw him before. He's quite studious looking, and wears those glasses attached by a bit of string to his neck, to stop him losing them I suppose. I missed the bit of string out though.

The proportions aren't great in this drawing, his head is too tall, which makes it look a bit squashed and too big for his body, but it does give an impression of what he looks like.

The more I draw people, the more I think that it's not necessary for the drawing to be accurate to give an impression of some-one. It's not that I want that to happen, nothing would make me happier than if all these drawings were accurate, but even when they're not, (actually none of them are,) they can still catch something about the person. I can see this guy in mind's eye now, in exactly the position he was sitting when I drew him. I've noticed many times that if the drawing does manage to catch something about the person then looking at the drawing again later brings back the image of whoever it is. If the drawing doesn't catch anything about them, it's just a drawing and doesn't remind me of the person. To me that's a failed drawing when that happens. I call this guy the professor, I imagine him as a history teacher for some reason.

This is a case in point. Not only is this not a good drawing, but it doesn't catch anything about the person. I can't remember this guy at all, and because of that I know that this doesn't look like him, or convey anything about him. Not much more I can say about this one.

This one came out a bit better, I know because I can see him now.

I liked the position he was sitting in, and way his hair stuck out at the front of his head seemed to accentuate it. In terms of proportion and accuracy, this one is probably the best one from this trip, which is funny because it was also the quickest, dashed off when I was about to leave.
